MES Hybrid Document Systems is an Information Management organization based in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The term Information Management can refer to a collection of different types of information and how to manage it in an electronic, computer-based system, or in this case, is used to describe the management of any type of documentation, from hard copies on paper to digital files. The general process involves reducing and classifying the often overwhelming amount of documentation an organization needs to retain by either Image scanning[1] or using microfilm. This can greatly assist an organization in reclaiming office space or adhering to the legal retention period of a document.

History

MES was founded by John D'Arcy in 1971, when the term information management meant only one thing in relation to documentation: microfilm. John D'Arcy was an expert in everything related to microfilm and microfiche, including how to create, view, store, retrieve, and manage it, and is a recognized industry name across North America for his knowledge in the field. An engineer of many years for Kodak micrographics, John decided to start his own company called Microfilm Equipment Services to cater to the needs of microfilming, especially those of the financial industry and many of Canada's best-known banks who relied on the technology for cheque clearing.

As technology evolved, the use of microfilm and microfiche declined, and with the development of document management systems, document imaging, and the image scanner, which are now more commonly used for similar applications today.

It was decided in 2006 that Microfilm Equipment Services represented an older technology, so the company name was changed to incorporate the Hybrid Document Systems addition. The term "hybrid" was used to highlight the combination of electronic document imaging and microfilm technology.
